Davenport and Collier, Lord-street. The Composition of the Patent Elastic Bitumen is the discovery of Monsieur Polonceau, Inspecteur Divisiennaire du Corps Royal des Ponts et Chaussees, who, by his public Works on the Continent (among which are the Pont do Carrousel at Paris, and the Roads of the Col de Lautaret and the Simplon), has acquired a high reputa tion throughout Europe. ii. iMonsieur Polonceau has succeeded in producing a Bituminous Composition, which for cheapness, strength, and durability, far exceeds any hitherto known ; and possesses this great advantage over every other—the materials of which it is composed are all found in England. So highly is the discovery estimated in France, that the authorities in Paris have entered into contracts with M. Polonceau for its application to the carriage -way of the Boulevard des Capuchines, the Rue de la Paix, and other car riage-roads in that city, which he is now actively engaged in car rying into effect. POlonceau's Elastic Bitumen is applicable to the construction of carriage-roads and pavements, rooting of buildings, flooring of halls, churches, stables, &c. Being impervious to vermin and damp it can be used with ad vantage and economy in the construction of granaries, warehouses, docks, drains, baths, &c. To secure the exclusive benefit of this discovery to the proposed Company, patents have been taken out for the United Kingdom, which have been assigned over in trest for this Company. The object of the Company will be to obtain the advantages which, it is presumed, must arise from the exclusive use of so im portant a material in this country. Application for Shares (post-paid) may be made in London to Messrs. Murray and Rymer, 59, Chancery-lane; and in Liverpool to Messrs. Davenport and Collier, Lord-street; and Mr. Joseph King, Exchange-buildings, on or before the lst of May. L LANVAIR CLYDOGAU SILVER-LE AD MINING COMPANY.

Beresford Fitzgibbon, Esq. H. C. Moreton Dyer, Esq. The above Company has been formed for the purpose of more effectually working and smelting the ores from the highly valuable and productive silver-lead mines near Lampeter, in the county of Cardigan, on the property of Lord Carrington, which are univer sally known and esteemed throughout Wales for their extraordinary richness. These mines, though formerly inefficiently worked, have never theless produced large profits ; they recently have undergone ex tensive improvements by the present lessee, who has expended a considerable sum in sinking a new shaft, erecting a new and power ful water-wheel, together with every necessary building calculated for a work of importance. There is a never-failing stream that will be applied to work the wheel, drain the mines, crush and stamp the ore, and draw it to the surface, so that none of the capital of the Company will be absorbed in steam engines and machinery, at immense cost, usually the case in works of this description. Many other advantages might be fairly set forth, such as contiguity to an excellent shipping port, cheapness of provision, and consequently labour, details more fitting for verbal explanation than public ad vertisement. It is not necessary to enlarge upon the acknowledged reputation of these mines, and their richness in silver (vide Topographical Histories of Wales.); suffice it to say, that samples previously to the present tenancy were tested in 1 536 by Mr. Johnson, the cele brated assayist, and were found to contain 84 ounces of pure silver to the ton of ore ; subsequently, on the 24th of February, 1838, specimens were again sent to him, which yielded 87 ounces to the ton. _ _ „„... The ores from these mines, owing to the large proportion of silver they contain, have always a ready sale (with scarcely any fluctuation in price), at from 271. to 301. per ton ; whilst the pro duce of other mines containing none of that precious metal sells for only 11/. to 121. a ton, and even at that price they are carried on at a profit. The extraordinary advantages that this investment presents must be obvious, the more especially as the Llanvair Mines have been already worked, the quality of the ores proved and reduced to a certainty, thereby divesting the present undertak ing from any apprehension of the risk usually attendant on mining speculations. A careful survey and elaborate report have been made by sir. W. W. Bailey, the well-known mining engineer, by which it will be seen that 8,0001. per annum is the calculation of the net profits from the old veins alone, while there is every prospect of propor tionate returns from the veins lately opened in diferent parts of the estate. Application for Shares may be addressed, post paid, to Mr. Henry Solly, Secretary, 5, Jeffries-square, City, London. ' Extract from Lewis's Topographical Dictionary, under the head Llanvair Clydogau :—" A valuable mine of lead ore, contain ing a considerable quantity of silver, has been worked here for the last twenty years with considerable success. Each ton of ore con tains, upon an average, from 75 to 80 ounces of pure silver." Extract from Meyrick's History of Cardiganshire, under the head Llanvair Clydogau :—" The ore from these mines sold for 27/. per ton ; 12} cwt. of lead is procured from one ton of ore, and from 60 to 80 ounces of silver from the same. It is said to be the richest mine in the county."

The Directors are so confident of the success of this great un dertaking, and the benefit that will arise to the public by the sale of this very superior Brandy, that they fully anticipate being able to compete with their Continental neighbours—so as to render the importation of Foreign Brandy unnecessary. The Directors beg to announce to the Public, that from the confidence placed in them by the Shareholders in the promptitude with which the Deposits have been paid, they are enabled to com mence business, and to receive orders to any extent. This Brandy will be supplied at 18s. per Gallon, in quanti ties of not less Two Gallons. A liberal discount allowed to the Trade. HENRY STOKES, Manager. 18, King-street, Snow-hill.

They will both soon finish. COLONIAL MARKETS. Buyers arc very shy indeed of coming into this department, and the operations are very languid indeed. Such is the state of things from day to day, that the greatest uncertainty attaches to prices, but whenever they alter they decline, and buyings-in save the decline sometimes from being greater. These remarks apply to the span sales of this day in Coffee, Cocoa, Spices, and British Plantation Sugar. Rum is exceedingly flat. Rice is not in the Market. Cotton does not appear to be dull only but dead. The Imports are not heavy. The public sales are for to-morrow, and now there is nothing doing by private contract. There are 6,730 bags of Mauritius Sugar ; 405 bags of Bengal ; 517 bags of Rice ; and some Spices. THE LONDON MARKETS FOR MERCIIANDIZE.

PRICE sd. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS Mr. Sergeant Talfourd moved, last night, the second reading of the Copyright Bill ; and we rejoice to state, that his motion was successful. Of the Learned Ser geant's speech, it would be difficult to speak in terms too laudatory. His address was, in the highest degree, elo quent. It abounded in fine and touching truths, and was delivered with a fervour worthy of the great principles of which it was an exposition. The debate, in point of fact, was interesting in no common degree. In support of Mr. Talfourd's motion, Sir Robert Harry Inglis, Mr. D'ls raeli, Mr. Jephson, Mr. Spring Rice, Mr. C. Wynn, and Lord Mahon presented themselves in the course of the evening. On the other side, appeared Mr. Hume, the Soli citor-General, Mr. Pryme, Mr. Ward, Mr. Grote, Sir John Campbell, Mr. Jervis, Sir E. Sugden, and Mr. War burton. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd addressed himself with great felicity to a consideration of the arguments which have been urged, with most pertinacity, against his measure. It had been contended, he observed, by publishers, and printers, and bookbinders, that their particular trades would sustain deep injury by the pro posed Bill, should it pass into law ; whilst the injury to the public in the enhanced price of books would be found to be of the most serious description. It was remarkable, how ever, the Learned Sergeant observed, that the same classes who now moved with so much energy, in opposition to the project of extending the author's interest in the creations of his genius to a period of 60 years after his death, moved with equal energy in 1813, against the extension of the duration of copyright from 14 to 28 years. Yet the exist ing law, which, before it became law, they opposed with ex ceeding bitterness, they now represent as the most perfect of all possible enactments on the subject. In 1813, as now, the publishers declared that the extension of the term of copyright, would render books dear, and, in that way, check the diffusion of literary knowledge. Yet, how stood the fact ? Had knowledge been diffused at a less rapid rate since 1814, than before ? And bad books risen in price since that period ? Undoubtedly not. Books had fallen incalculably, since the existing law came into operation— and literary tastes had been created in quarters, where, previously, there had existed not the slightest sympathy for refined or intellectual pursuits. It had been objected, the Learned Sergeant observed, that his Bill was calcu lated to benefit only one author out of, perhaps, five hun dred ! He admitted the truth of the assertion ; but in making that admission, he at the same time destroyed the whole fabric of the reasoning which had been directed against his measure. It was undeniable that the Bill before the House would benefit only a few of those men of rare genius whom Nature had endowed with the power of pro ducing works destined to attain immortality ; but in such cases would it be denied that the protection contended for ought to be conceded ? If such cases did not amount to " the proportion of one in five hundred, why then it followed, that not in more than one case out of five hundred, would the price of books be increased to the public ! The Learned Sergeant entered, moreover, with great elo quence and acuteness, upon the points of distinction which obtain between patents for mechanical inven tions, and copyright. Nothing, in short, could be more triumphant than the whole course of his reasonings. Jo seph Hume—liberal, enlightened, intellectual, imaginative Joseph Hume—opposed the second reading of the Bill. He thought monopolies bad things. He thought that the interest of the public ought to predominate over that of private individuals—and he thought men of literary genius sufficiently rewarded at present ! The Solicitor-General quite agreed in sentiment with Joseph Hume. He thought copyright a tax upon the public ; and he thought that no thing more ought to be bestowed upon authors, than would suffice to secure the talents for the service of the com munity ! The present system had had that effect—and, therefore, he opposed the motion before the House. Sir Robert Harry Inglis, in a speech worthy of his noble character—in a speech which reflected honour on the great University which he represents—supported Sergeant Talfourd's Bill. Mr. Pryme spoke, in support of Joseph Hume's amendment in a spirit worthy of Joseph Hume himself. Mr. D'lsraeli followed, and nobly supported his well-earned literary reputation. He recalled the attention of the House to the fact, that when Members spoke of copyright as a " monopoly," they forgot that authors created a property by their genius, and that copyright— which, he contended, ought to exist in perpetuity—was only the guarantee which the law ought to bestow on lite rary men, in the enjoyment of that hard-earned result of their labour ! The speech of Mr. D'lsraeli was charac terised by much eloquence and logical power, and abounded at the same time in facts, which made a deep impression on the House. Mr. 'Ward talked some " liberalism," the ob ject of which was to show that the public had a right to plunder men of genius. Mr. Jephson replied to Mr. Ward, and was followed by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, in a speech which did him infinite honour, re buked the grovelling spirit of the Solicitor-General's remarks. Mr. Grote, like a good " Liberal," of course, objected to the " tax" involved in copyright. Sir John Campbell suggested to Mr. Talfourd the expe diency of withdrawing his Bill, and introducing a mea sure, the object of which should be the reference to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council, of the claims to extended copyright, of the few men of rare genius whom the existing law did not sufficiently protect ! Mr. C. Wynn, and Lord Mahon, in a spirit of noble enthusiasm, supported the Bill. Sir Edward Sugden, we are sorry to state, opposed it. Mr. Jervis repeated the arguments of Mr. Pryme and Mr. Grote in opposition to the measure ; whilst Mr. Warburton concluded, on that side, with a speech impregnated with the essential principles of the money-grubbing philosophy, of which Mr. Warburton is so eminent an apostle, Mr. Talfourd's reply was no less brilliant arid happy than his opening address. The numbers were—for the measure 39—against it 34. The country owes Mr. Talfourd thanks for his noble efforts on behalf of the country's highest interests. On the men of literary genius —on his own order—Mr. Talfourd has conferred an enduring obligation.—Morning Herald. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Copyright Bill was read a second time last night, the motion having been carried by only five votes in a House of 74 Members. A subsequent proposition by Mr. P. Howard, to refer the measure to a Select Committee instead of a Committee of the whole House, was negatived by a majority of seven, the numbers being 38 to Sl. A point not adverted to in the discussion last night seems to deserve attention—viz., that some of the noblest works in our language, especially productions of the imagination, were written and published at a period when no protection of any kind was afforded to authors. Of course we do not mean to go back to the time when printing was in its infancy, and when that very circumstance was an effectual security against piracy ; but in the latter end of the reign of Elizabeth presses were se nume rous in London that it was thought necessary by the public authorities to take some steps to limit them. Ac cordingly the Queen, by appointment under the privy seal, authorized certain stationers (who were then usually printers and booksellers) to publish books in particular departments. If any invasion of the right thus conferred took place, the usual remedy was by appeal to the Privy Council, though now and then the interposition of the Stationers' Company was found sufficient. Bibles, prayer books, statutes and law-books, proclamations and public orders, were the chief classes thus far protected ; but, as we have said, there was no protection whatever for works of invention. 'lle only question with rival booksellers then was, whether it was worth while, as a matter of profit, to re-print any play, poem, romance, of tale. Hence the several editions in the same year of some of Shakspeare's dramas, and hence in some degree arose that extreme carelessness about the printing of his works which has puzzled some of the moderns. Care was useless, because no care could avail. When in the middle of the reign of James I. Ben Jenson collected and published his scattered pieces, his security was the size of the vo lume ; but by this date the King had taken upon him self to grant to particular authors the sole right of publishing particular works, and Daniel's " History of England" was printed by the author as a private spe culation under this sanction. It is indisputable, how ever, that all the most popular productions in our language, including the best poetry of any age or country, were issued under the peril of piracy, if pi racy it could properly be called. Spenser's " Fairy Queen," Shakspeare's minor poems (besides his own and all other dramatic productions), Greene's novels, Nash's tracts, and in fact the whole of the en tertaining literature prior to about the year 1620, and, in deed, long afterwards, excepting in a very few special instances, were unsheltered by the law or by the interpo sition of the Government of the day. We mention this circumstance for the purpose of showing that there is in fact less connection than some imagine between authorship and protection, and that works of the highest value, whe ther as efforts of genius or results of labour and learning, will make their appearance in spite of any danger of inva sion to which they may be exposed. Lord Mahon last night said, as a reason for passing Mr. Sergeant Talfourd's Bill, that he wished to see literary men placed in circum stances of ease and independence ; and no doubt the hope of honest independence as well as fame must be a power ful incentive, however true it may be that many of those productions of which nations have good reason to be proud; were produced by writers who never dreamt of ease and. indepedence as the result of their labours. Milton, in a. well-known passage, tells us that " Fame is the spur which the clear spirit cloth raise," &c. And it is well known that Shaltspeare and his fellow-dra matists, in every play they penned, regarded only the money the theatre would produce to them. But granting all this to Lord Mahon, we are at a loss to see how the Bri.; of Ser geant Talfourd can at all add to the reward of authors. A bookseller will not give more for a copyright of 60 years than for a copyright of 28 years. One in five huna l red works may be worth re-publication after 28 years ; but immediate value of such a probability is not calculable. A good deal was said last night by nearly all the lawyers who spoke upon the question reonecting the right of authors at. common law, and it was generally admitted by Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, the Attorney. General, Mr. Jervis, and Sir E. Sugden, that the Statute ofAnt? e l 3 ad abridged therights ofauthors ; and it wasurged bythe frt.:lat.:sof the Bill that the object of it was to steer a middle course bet.ween unconfined latitude allowed by the common law, and k be restrictive clauses of the Acts of Anne and George 111. Sir Robert Inglis, however, insisted that it did not go far emlugh, far although he was decidedly in its favour, he saw no su. f ileien reason for limiting to any period of years the right of au thors to a property in their works, but would have it as extensive as the claim to any other species of property it; perpetuity. The main argument against the proposed diange in the law was very clearly stated by Mr. Grote, viz., that it would diminish the resources of the reading public. If the copyright of a valuable work expired in twenty-eight years, at the end of that time it might be published in a cheap form, the only expense being printing and paper ; whereas if the auihor's copy right were to be taken into the account the book. must be sold so much the dearer, and the benefit to the• reading . public would of course be so much the less. Mr. Wynn, who advocated the measure, owned that this point VV.NS in disputable ; but his answer was, that if authors were not duly encouraged by a prospect of reward, they would ito: be disposed to produce books which at the end of twenty eight years would be worth re-publishing. The At'or-- ney-General contended with much force that the present. state of the law required no alteration ; that it worked well for authors, booksellers, and the public ; and that to make the intended change would paralyse industry, while it did little to benefit authors. He suggested to the promoters of the Bill, that a- middle course might be ad vantageously pursued. With respect to mechanical inven tions a power was given by statute four years ago to the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council to extend the term of the patent if it saw reason, and he thought that the same method 'night be adopted with regard to books : if the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council found that the writer of a valuable work had not been ado- quately remunerated, an additional term of copyright might be granted to him. This recommendation was subse quently repeated by Mr. Jervis, but it was resisted by Mr. Warburton, on the ground that the Privy Council in such cases might be actuated by political motives, and Mr. Ser geant Talfourd was unwilling to abandon his Bill upon any such speculation ; though, if the Bill were lost, the point might be worth attention. The Chancellor of the Ex chequer very heartily supported the second reading, and with acuteness exposed the false analogy attempted to be drawn by some members between works of genius and learn ing and mere mechanical inventions. He also congratu lated the literary world that this difficult subject had been taken up not only by en eminent lawyer, but by one of the brightest ornaments or our living literature. The debate was conducted in the most liberal spirit on both sides, and no doubt the House will ga into Committee on the Bill on a future day with a sincere determination to correct its defective details.
